# Иви vs Большое ТВ

The clearest difference is rating: Иви at 4.7 against Большое ТВ's 3.3. Иви also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 342). Большое ТВ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Иви sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per month and Большое ТВ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Иви holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Иви has 8.2K ratings behind it against 342, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of Иви's written reviews are positive against 15% of Большое ТВ's.

Иви ships an update weekly, Большое ТВ monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
